That's right, but I'm buying it from the classifieds section here and it lives 1,500 miles from me, so I haven't had a really close look at the fit of the mirror caps. From the pictures I've seen they look pretty nice though.

I assume u're asking about the stick on caps, since the full replacements are only available non-OEM for the e92. I've heard the fitment is good since the stick on caps are thin, but if you're a detail-oriented person and walk close to it, you will recognize the gap. Gaps = not cool. Time for autotecknic to start making full replacements for E90's!

agreed. $500+ for an OEM set is ridiculous.

Agreed. The stick on caps are very good. If you're extremely detailed you could probably tell they are stick on caps, but imo they are more than good enough when you factor in the price for OEM replacements.
